We define a metric and a family of $\alpha$-connections in statistical manifolds, based on $\varphi$-divergence, which emerges in the framework of $\varphi$-families of probability distributions. This metric and $\alpha$-connections…

The present document is the draft of a book which presents an introduction to infinite-dimensional differential geometry beyond Banach manifolds. As is well known the usual calculus breaks down in this setting. Hence, we replace it by the…

The Freund family of distributions becomes a Riemannian 4-manifold with Fisher information as metric; we derive the induced $\alpha$-geometry, i.e., the $\alpha$-curvature, $\alpha$-Ricci curvature with its eigenvales and eigenvectors, the…

In this paper we construct and study isoperimetric functions at infinity for Hadamard manifolds. These quasi-isometry invariants give a measure of the spread of geodesics in such a manifold.

We introduce the notion of envelope of a topological algebra (in particular, an arbitrary associative algebra) with respect to a class of Banach algebras. In the case of the class of real Banach algebras of polynomial growth, i.e.,…

Group-invariant probability distributions appear in many data-generative models in machine learning, such as graphs, point clouds, and images. In practice, one often needs to estimate divergences between such distributions. In this work, we…

This paper mainly contributes to a classification of statistical Einstein manifolds, namely statistical manifolds at the same time are Einstein manifolds. A statistical manifold is a Riemannian manifold, each of whose points is a…

We define submersions f between manifolds M and N modelled on locally convex spaces. If the range N is finite-dimensional or a Banach manifold, then these coincide with the naive notion of a submersion. We study pre-images of submanifolds…

In this paper I discuss the relation between the concept of the Fisher metric and the concept of differentiability of a family of probability measures. I compare the concepts of smooth statistical manifolds, differentiable families of…

We give an exposition of the theory of invariant manifolds around a fixed point, in the case of time-discrete, analytic dynamical systems over a complete ultrametric field K. Typically, we consider an analytic manifold M modelled on an…

We give a new geometric interpretation of the Amari-Cencov $\alpha$-connections $\nabla^{(\alpha)}$ from information geometry: On the space of densities $\operatorname{Dens}_+(M)$, we show that there exist Riemannian metrics $G^\alpha$,…

In a previous paper [M.~Hanada, H.~Kawai and Y.~Kimura, Prog. Theor. Phys. 114 (2005), 1295] it is shown that a covariant derivative on any n-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be expressed in terms of a set of n matrices, and a new…

The paper treats density measures as typical examples of finitely additive measures in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We study their structure and derive basic properties. In addition, estimates for related integrals are provided. The results are applied…
